Arngrímr Brandsson (died 13 October 1361) was an Icelandic cleric and writer. Arngrímr‘s early life and career has long been the subject of debate; the evidence for it is sometimes contradictory. The synthesis of the evidence by Jón Helgason is widely seen as the most convincing. In this account, Arngrímr was consecrated as a secular priest, held the benefice of Oddi, and served Bishop Jón Halldórsson of Skálholt. In 1341, he took holy orders, possibly in Þykkvibær. He certainly became abbot of the monastery of Þingeyraklaustur in 1351, a position which he held until his death. Arngrímr supported the otherwise unpopular Bishop Ormr Ásláksson, during whose episcopate Arngrímr rose to the position of officialis of Iceland's northern diocese of Hólar, which he held from 1347 to 1351 and again

  • Arngrímr Brandsson (died 13 October 1361) was an Icelandic cleric and writer. Arngrímr‘s early life and career has long been the subject of debate; the evidence for it is sometimes contradictory. The synthesis of the evidence by Jón Helgason is widely seen as the most convincing. In this account, Arngrímr was consecrated as a secular priest, held the benefice of Oddi, and served Bishop Jón Halldórsson of Skálholt. In 1341, he took holy orders, possibly in Þykkvibær. He certainly became abbot of the monastery of Þingeyraklaustur in 1351, a position which he held until his death. Arngrímr supported the otherwise unpopular Bishop Ormr Ásláksson, during whose episcopate Arngrímr rose to the position of officialis of Iceland's northern diocese of Hólar, which he held from 1347 to 1351 and again from 1354 to 1357. Arngrímr is now most noted for making the latest and longest version of Guðmundar saga biskups, known as version D, probably at Ormr Ásláksson‘s request, and in conjunction with Bishop Guðmundur Arason's exhumation in 1344. Arngrímr also composed a drápa in honour of the bishop, alongside that composed by Einarr Gilsson. He can be seen as part of the North Icelandic Benedictine School of saga-writing. (en)
  • Arngrim Brandsson (Arngrímr Brandsson) var abbot i Tingöre kloster (Þingeyraklaustur) på norra Island åren 1350-1361. Han är mest känd för att ha författat en saga om Hólarbiskopen Gudmund Arason den gode (Guðmundur góði Arason), som genom sin givmildhet mot de fattiga beskylldes för att skingra kyrkans medel och kom i konflikt med hövdingarna.Efter sin död blev han på Island dyrkad som helgon och fick rykte som stor undergörare. Sagan, som tar upp åtskilliga händelser i biskopens liv, har också till eftervärlden bevarat en mängd verser av skalden Einar Gilsson, Islands förste till namnet kände ríma-diktare. Arngrim författade även en drapa på hrynhent vers om biskop Gudmund. Dikten, som är bevarad i sin helhet, har 66 strofer med dubbelt omkväde och följer sagans innehåll mycket nära. Finnur Jónsson antog att drapan tillkommit på anmodan av biskop Orm Aslaksson (Ormr Ásláksson) i anledning av skrinläggningen av Gudmunds ben. Arngrim hade ett stort musikintresse, och tycks också ha varit Islands förste orgelbyggare. Han avled den 13 oktober 1361. (sv)
